I have an older friend who has worked for many years and is quite senior in his company. Single and unattached but has girlfriends before and not without the occasional piak piak every now and then (He learnt some kung fu from me... 
). He is damn picky with women. If the looks fail, everything else fails.
Recently he told me he suddenly feels like flying to an overseas country (let’s call it Country X) to meet a woman (I will call her Ms W).
Well, thing is he has never met the woman, nor has he communicated with the woman before!
Here’s what happened. (I have modified certain parts to cut a long story short and for ease of reading),
One day for no apparent reason, he suddenly have the urge to go surfing for some artistic stuff on the internet. He came across this website that showcase the works of this artist (who is Ms W). He got interested and went to google for Ms W and went on to other sites to read about Ms W and watch her appearing in some videos.
Ms W is not exactly stunning looking (average at best), dress conservatively and not exactly very young (in fact slightly older than my friend). From some of her recent photos online, she is also not exactly very thin and she really looks her age (yes, aunty!). According to the web, Ms W is not married.
My friend is slim and fit and looks younger than his age. His taste of women is normal. So when he told me he wants to go look for that woman, I am kind of taken aback. (If she was some hot sexy babe, I can at least understand.)
I asked him why. He does not know why he wants to go meet Ms W! He does not know the exact purpose he will achieve in meeting Ms W. He said just like the feeling that drove him to suddenly surf the web on the artistic stuff, he is suddenly driven to want to meet Ms W.
What makes thing difficult is he does not know exactly where Ms W is. Only information is that she is in Country X. Only way to have a chance to get in touch with Ms W is through one of Ms W’s former associate who has a shop somewhere in Country X. My friend only has the address. No guarantee that this former associate is still in that shop. No guarantee that this former associate will help!
My friend’s enthusiasm seems high. He is ready to leave anytime.
I told him to wait for one month first. This may be a sudden urge that may subside over time. If the feeling to go to Country X to meet Miss W is still strong after one month, then he may go.
I mean, to go and look for that woman means he has to take leave, buy the air tickets, book the hotel, then go to search for this woman. He does not even know why he want to do this nor what outcome he wants, just that “strong feeling” is driving him. All these are beyond my understanding and logic.
Do you think he should go and why?
